INTRODUCTION
An education system is explicitly based on the quest “what to teach” and “how to
teach”. What to teach means learning material and how to teach implies teaching
methodology.
Audio-Visual Aids are also called instructional material. Audio literally means
hearing and visuals means that which is found by seeing. So, all such aids, which
endeavor to make the knowledge clear to us through our sense are called Audio-
Visual Aids or Instructional Materials. All these materials of learning make the
learning situations as real as possible and give us firsthand knowledge through the
organs of hearing and seeing. Therefore, any device which can be used to make the
learning experience more concrete and effective, more realistic and dynamic can be
considered audio-visual material.
We learn through our sense organs. Senses are the way of knowledge. All the
sense organs help us in understanding the environment. Most of the knowledge,
which we acquire from the school, comes through our ears and eyes.
The quality of education is largely depending upon the quality of teachers and
the teaching learning resources available for the system.
